Happy New Year! It’s 2018. Wow, my 2017 life events were so unexpected this year. So much took place. I lost my LOVE (boyfriend/bae) to an fatal car accident in May 2017. I quit my corporate job in June 2017. In August, I reached a birthday milestone and turned the “Fabulous 40” and celebrated with 15 of my closest friends in Costa Rica. So fun! In November 2017, I relocated from Atlanta, GA to Dallas, TX. Unfortunately, I couldn’t continue to enjoy my Atlanta life without my LOVE and it was time for an #newbeginning.

Now, I am kicking off 2018 in a new city to conquer with no family and friends. However, my Atlanta friends ensured my transition included connecting me to new people in Dallas. So far, so good! No complaints, Dallas rocks!

GlamCurvy.com is still thought about and I plan to take baby steps and rebuild this community. The plus size universe soared in 2017 but we still have so many barriers to conquer in the fashion industry across the runway, TV, film, etc.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the plus size universe in 2017 moving into 2018. For 2018, my expectations are high and I salute to ALL the double digit size women pushing pass the skinnies. We fearless!

Hi Everyone- I am sorry GlamCurvy have been AWOL for the last few months. Life took place and new projects came my way I had to entertain. But anyway, I miss you all and still been following the plus size fashion industry. So much have transitioned in the plus size world since the summer. 1.) Increased media visibility to the plus size industry 2.) More leading designers offering collections sizes 16 and up. 3.) The variation of styles have evolved with similarity to the skinnys now. Well I am being honest. LOL. We still have along way to go but I can see change and hoping it continues to represent us well.

With my time away, I started searching for who have the hottest looks that fit my style for fall fashion. Classy Trendy. I identified my favorite 5 shopping sites that I purchase from frequently. Drum roll please!!!!!

3. Deb Shops Who knew? The Deb brand have been around since I was a kid in VA. I haven’t seen an physical storefront in years. However, it was my favorite place to shop in my teenage years. And today, they still offer classy trendy looks I love. Great shoes, too!

4. Forever 21 – Plus Size Clothing – My backup. Affordable prices of jeans, tops, and they also have great online specials. The only thing is if you buy online they only offer a credit if you return it to the store. Bummer! But usually its okay.. I can find something to purchase in replace of my credit.

5. Eloquii – Truth Serum. Just added to my bookmarks. I was not a big fan of the Eloquii brand at first. I thought it was pretty standard and aligned more with Lane Bryant and Ashley Stewart typical looks. But over time I explored it more and came across a few looks I do love. Now it is a little pricey and sizes go fast but shop the sales. That’s the only time I peek…. and buy!

Living in the South usually means an HAWT summer! The sun plus humidity usually have everyone miserable in the heat. With no beaches and little water, Atlanta is known for having an array of indoor and outdoor events. Whether you invited to an happy hour, bbq, pool party, dinner, concert/show, or networking event you need to have your curvy summer wardrobe “fix” ready for the summer and a few cute accessories.

Due to LIFE, it’s been sometime since my last post but I saw a few curvy sayings that I used as affirmations while living curvy. With spring/summer approaching, I need a little pep to stay positive with life perception of what “CUTE” means in our society. I hope these curvy words is a inspiration to someone because they were magic to my thoughts.

I am 5’7 and wear a size 14/16 and I can feel the extra weight around my waist, thighs, and boobs as I get older. I don’t want to be skinny but just healthier. About 7 years ago, I lost about 50lbs and gain back about 20 lbs overtime. Ideally, losing 15-20 lbs would be awesome right now but I HATE working out. Now I do walk my dog everyday which gives me about 30 mins of a lite walk but no heart beat increase. It probably just help me maintain my weigh enough to slow down the rapid weight gain. This spring, my goal is to carry my “lazy” butt to the park at least 3 times a week and walk for 30-45 minutes briskly to start this healthy process and have a little less wine and sugar, too! WALK off the weight that’s my GOAL.

Well we know the”skinnies”is taking over the gyms, parks, and streets with their committed energy, petite bodies, and fancy workout gear. Right now, committing myself to their energy levels or desiring those petite bodies is not in my thought process. But the workout gear.. WE can SLAY it! Check out these fancy affordable threads to “workout cuter than the skinnies”….

3 days left before Christmas 2015 arrives. Did you finish Christmas shopping? Still have holiday parties to attend? Are you still prepping your house for family/friends to arrive and take over? Well the Christmas holiday is approaching fast and the New Year is peeping around the corner a few days later. Unfortunately, I am still struggling with the thought myself! 2015 is really coming to an end.
